Bouncing River Stone, 1 pc
You know that stone along the river path that suddenly wobbles and makes you focus just a little bit harder? Do you keep your balance, or do you fall off?
Gonge's motor skills toys are of outstanding quality, and the well-known River Stone has this fun new cousin, ready for your child to jump on.
A Bouncing River Stone to jump or step on adds an extra motor skills challenge and makes the balance course even more fun.
The Bouncing River Stone also makes a great physiotherapy tool for overall training as well as targeted exercises for ankles, knees, and balance.
With Gonge's amazing range of educational toys, you can build a balance or obstacle course at home or in a school or childcare setting. You can also use cushions, chairs, and whatever else you can think of. For example, you can crawl under tables covered with blankets, or you can black out a section of the obstacle course and have the kids crawl across Bouncing River Stones on their knees.
It takes some weight to get the stone to bounce, so it works best for children weighing over 20 kg.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

This toy has no rules, and your child can simply play without having to figure out how to use it. The goal is simply to play and be in the present moment. We call this type of play intuitive play - its also referred to as "open ended play". Let your child play by using their intuition and seize the opportunity to notice what happens.
As opposed to types of play which are about achieving a particular result, intuitive play will often give you fascinating insight into your child’s own problem-solving skills, imagination, and thought process.
“Sit still and stop rocking the chair” doesn’t apply with motor skills furniture (thankfully). In fact, being able to rock and roll (furniture wise) can help children with motor restlessness stay calm. When your child's proprioception and vestibular sense get more of the stimuli they need to work and thrive, your child has an easier time settling down. In other words, when your child gets enough sensory input, their body is able to relax and function better.
Motor skills furniture from ToyAcademy is robust and can withstand years of active play.
The activity helps your child develop new skills and is great for your child's well-being:
- Great for getting your child's body moving, which in turn stimulates their gross motor skills.
- This is a great way for your child to engage their vestibular sense. The vestibular sense helps us to spin in circles, stand on one leg, or ride in a car without getting dizzy, losing our balance, or getting car sick.
- Improves your child's proprioception, which improves their concentration skills and builds up their confidence to use their body in other types of active play.
